On the first day of the first month of the ninth year of the Xuanli calendar, in the morning.

The noisy Jinling City all night seemed to be still asleep in a dream and never woke up, Fu Xiaoguan had already gotten up and exercised as always.

Su Su also got up early, she sat on the top of a pavilion, and her little feet as smooth as jade swayed. She occasionally looked at Fu Xiaoguan running in the yard, and thought to herself that this person was idle...... If she can run out of martial arts cultivation, where do the martial artists in the world still need to meditate so troublesomely, so more often than not, she is looking at the eastern sky.

At the beginning of the heavy snowfall, the sky was high, a round of red sun rose, and the light that erupted reflected Su Su's face.

The delicate face was full of eyebrows, and his eyes were bright. The corners of her mouth slowly curled, a smile rippled on her face, and her small mouth was slightly raised, revealing a few crystal teeth.

She's reminiscing.

Recalling everything in the Dong Mansion last night, it turned out that this was the New Year.

She pinched the red envelope that Mrs. Dong gave her in her sleeve pocket, this is the New Year's money.

The memories of my childhood came to my heart, a little ethereal and hazy, I didn't think about it for too many years, but it had gradually faded away, and when I wanted to pick it up again, I found that it was so fragmented.

She bent her legs, clasped her hands on her knees, looked at the sun that was not dazzling and had no temperature, and remembered what Fu Xiaoguan said to her last night-

Different youth, the same confusion. However, youth will grow and confusion will dissipate. After dark, the sun rises as usual! {Note 1}

Oh, yes...... After dark, the sun rises as usual.

Just like now.

Well, this guy is quite comforting, unlike the elder brother, who will always say: What are you thinking about it? It's not like the second senior brother, the second senior brother will say: Wouldn't it be better to live in the moment? It's not like the third senior sister, the third senior sister will say: Thinking too much will increase your troubles.

They are all orphans, and they are unwilling to remember and face the past after all. This...... Maybe it's the confusion of growing up.

Su Su took a deep breath, because of Fu Xiaoguan's words, she felt that she had completely walked out, as if she had cleared the fog, her mood had become relaxed, and even the sun seemed to have become more and more beautiful.

A breath rose in Su Su's dantian, and then grew unscrupulously, and then Su Su stood up, and suddenly there was something strange around her ten meters.

Su Jue stepped into the air.

Su Rou flew to the opposite roof at once.

Fu Xiaoguan stopped and looked at Su Su in amazement.

The yellow dress on her body moved without wind, and the snow on the top of the pavilion suddenly stirred, and the snow actually rotated slowly around her body, and then faster and faster, and it didn't take long for the surrounding snow to flutter, and then wrapped Su Su in it, just like a snowman on the top of the pavilion.

Fu Xiaoguan was extremely surprised, and looked at Su Jue, Su Jue's face was tense, and even the crown hat that was crooked by an inch forgot to tidy it up, the embroidery needle in Su Rou's hand had stopped, and between her eyebrows was also a caution that Fu Xiaoguan had never seen.

"...... this?"

After dozens of breaths, Su Jue put his mind at ease, and he landed beside Fu Xiaoguan and straightened his hat, "Hey...... The sixth junior sister is about to break through again! ”

"What does the breakthrough look like?" Fu Xiaoguan asked curiously.

"The Jiuyang Heart Sutra has a total of nine layers, and the sixth senior sister has cultivated to the second layer, so the master didn't let her practice it anymore, but now, ...... She didn't practice and had to break through! Looking at this formation, I'm afraid it's not a matter of breaking through the third layer. ”

Fu Xiaoguan was greatly admired, this is special, people have to die more than people!

I meditated as soon as I was free, and I memorized the Jiuyang Heart Sutra upside down, but after these months, I didn't feel the so-called qi at all, but Su Su didn't need to cultivate at all, and if he couldn't suppress it, he was about to break through.

"This ...... Will there be a problem? ”

Su Jue shook his head, "Master said...... Don't force it, let it be, now the sixth senior sister is very natural, of course there is no problem. ”

Fu Xiaoguan looked up at the snowman again, under the sunlight, the snowman exuded a folded light, it was very beautiful, and it did have the appearance of a tall man - "Why was she wrapped in snow?" ”

"Because...... She's so hot! ”

Fu Xiaoguan was stunned, this explanation was so powerful that he couldn't understand it.

Well, let's see what this breakthrough looks like.

And then there was nothing else.

Half an hour later, the thick snow that wrapped Su Su slowly melted, and a faint layer of fog rose up on her body, which swirled in the morning breeze and then dispersed, and then Su Su was exposed, and the yellow dress was not wet at all!

She opened her eyes, still looking at the rising sun, and smiled sweetly, so that the sun seemed to lose its light.

She sat down again, shook her little feet, and looked down at Fu Xiaoguan, "Hey, hey, what are you looking at?" Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman? The stupid bird flies first, you know? Why don't you hurry up? ”

Fu Xiaoguan was speechless for a moment, this is too shocking!

He hung his head and continued to run, but what he thought in his heart was that this little girl grew up and didn't know how many men would be sad for her.

……

Dong Shulan came to Fu's mansion at three o'clock in the morning, and the matter between the two of them was basically decided last night, just waiting for Fu Daguan to come to Beijing to propose marriage in a few days, and with the consent of her parents, she needed to take Fu Xiaoguan to visit her relatives today.

It's not formal, but it's necessary.

The Dong family and the Yuan family are both natives of Jinling, and both families have people who are officials in the court, and both have people who run certain businesses.

There are two main reasons for this move, one is to show these relatives that the matter between herself and Fu Xiaoguan has been approved by her parents, so those seven aunts and eight aunts should not think of a way to match a certain gate valve for her. The second is to show that Fu Xiaoguan will live in Beijing for a long time after this and join the court as an official, Dong and Yuan There are not many people with official status, and the position is not high, although Fu Xiaoguan can't help much, but please don't add to the chaos.

Among them, the more troublesome ones are Dong Shulan's second uncle and third uncle, the second uncle Dong Xiangfang is now the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, the official of the sixth grade, which is half a level lower than Fu Xiaoguan's Chaosan doctor from the fifth grade.

The third uncle, Yuan Zhen, is the right Shilang of the province under the door, and he is also the official son of the sixth product. This Zhongshu is directly under the leadership of Yan Beixi, so the third uncle is most keen to marry Dong Shulan to Yan Xiwen.

These relatives Dong Shulan had already told Fu Xiaoguan in detail last night, the purpose was to hope that Fu Xiaoguan would have a bottom in his heart, because someone might give him a face.

Fu Xiaoguan's temperament She knows that this is a master who will not suffer, but these relatives are elders after all, and I hope that if it is not too ugly, then endure it.

Fu Xiaoguan didn't care about this, after all, he was not a person like Shi Chaoyuan who couldn't beat him, as for the loss...... It doesn't matter if you can marry Dong Shulan and suffer some grievances.

"Don't you see what else you need to prepare?" Fu Xiaoguan asked.

"Enough, it's not an official visit...... We'll have to go once after we get married. ”

"Okay, then we're ready to go."

Under Chunxiu's arrangement, the family members of the house loaded the gifts that should be divided into the carriage, and the four carriages set off, walking through the Jinling City that had just woken up, crushing the remnants of the red left after the fireworks and firecrackers last night, and went to the relatives of Dong Yuan and Yuan's mansions.

Accompanied by Su Su and Chunxiu.

Su Su was curious, she thought it was a bit interesting, after all, she wouldn't see it in the view. And Chunxiu is going to arrange for a few family members to move gifts, and she also wants to see how the Dong family's relatives are, otherwise how should she answer when the old man asks her in the future?

For this kind of entertainment, Fu Xiaoguan is not good at it, he was an orphan in his previous life, where are his relatives?

Then after rigorous training, he became a lone wolf, and he didn't even have a girlfriend, and naturally he didn't add relatives.

So in the house of Dong Shulan's uncle, second uncle, third aunt and fourth aunt, Fu Xiaoguan didn't say much, more Dong Shulan smiled sweetly and solemnly introduced Fu Xiaoguan to them, and then said some New Year's blessings and pulled them to the next family.

Almost all of these relatives are doing business in Jinling, and most of the children in the family are students of the palace, only Dong Shulan's uncle's third son, Dong Xiumu, is a Jinshi in the fifth year of Xuanli, and in October of the eighth year of Xuanli, he received a real shortage and went to Heyu County, Ningzhou, North Province, North Province, to serve as a county commander, which can be regarded as a career.

They have all heard of the name Fu Xiaoguan for a long time, and they know that this little landlord from Linjiang is a great talent, so these relatives like it very much, but behind it, they still shook their heads, thinking that Dong Shulan, this child, is so shrewd, and Dong Kangping is so insightful, but why did he give up Yan Xiwen of Yan Valve, and choose Fu Xiaoguan, who is just an idle post!

In the eyes of businessmen, although this investment is not a loss, it is obviously not profitable, but if it is invested in Yanvale, even these relatives can be a little bit of light.

Now that this light has been extinguished like this, of course everyone regrets it, but after all, this is the business of Dong Kangping's family, even if it is the eldest brother Dong Mingfan, it is difficult to say anything.

"The next thing we are going to is the second uncle's house, which is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple that I told you about last night. After you left last night, my father told me that the second uncle may not embarrass you, because you will go to the Wu Dynasty to participate in the cultural meeting during the Cold Food Festival, and this matter is handled by Honglu Temple, and the second uncle knows that you will take the lead. The second uncle is a very shrewd person, although the official position is smaller, but he has a wide range of friends in the court, and I think he knows the meaning of this. ”

Fu Xiaoguan grabbed Dong Shulan's hand and put it in his palm, and said with a smile: "You really don't have to worry about me, but you, you're very tired, you've worked hard." ”

Dong Shulan smiled slightly, and two red glows flew on her face, "I don't feel tired, I think it's good, really." I used to worry about my parents, but now the biggest problem has been solved, including the help of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, but it's more about you...... Petty officer, it's all worth it. ”

Su Su, who was sitting in a carriage behind, held a string of rock sugar gourds in his hand, and said while licking it: "This matter...... Boring! ”

Chunxiu turned her head to look at Su Su, this little girl seems to like sweets very much, "If you eat too many sweets, you will get fat." ”

Su Su raised his beautiful eyebrows, thinking that he would only get fat if he ate meat like the second senior brother.
